Visual Studio

Welcome to the Visual Studio UserVoice site! Let us know what you would like to see in future versions of the Visual Studio suite of products. This site is for suggestions and ideas. If you need to file a bug, visit the Visual Studio Connect site: https://connect.microsoft.com/visualstudio.

We would also like to invite you to check out the Announcements section we have added to this site, where we will be posting special opportunities for you to participate in.

While working in c# and visual basic and even in ASP.Net, We are getting full intellisense support and it reduces a lot of pain in writing the program. Further, c# and visual basic programs are easy to be written and are small and compact .

Whereas in the case of Programming with Direct x and Win32 API
in C and Using the MFC library with c++, even the most simple 'hello world' program is more than 200 lines and there are thousands of functions but the intellisense support is very very few.It just lists class ,structure ao an enumeration members and stops with it and yes, of-course describes parameters of functions .

So I request that complete intellisense support must be provided for c++ such an error correction suggestion , code generation and so on....

Please respond to this.I am a beginner in programming with Direct X and It pains like anything to learn it with a simple c++ editor in visual studio 2010.

Currently the CTRL+Left/Right cycles just through entire words, but it would be awesome to cycle inside a word also. For example, în the „MySuperAwesomeClass” should cycle to M, S, A and C, not over the entire word.

VS 2013 is awesome. I really appreciate its speed and CodeLens and other things, but there is one I would like to ask you to improve: can you please add functionality like "copy diff from left to right" and vice versa to VS diff tool? I do not want to select piece of code, copypaste it and then remove the old one in the other file. I want one button which will be shown when I put cursor to a line of code and will do it for me if I press it. This button should also copy whole chunk of code, not a single line, if we have multiple lines different going one by one.

This is implemented in every merge tool (you can use Araxis Merge for example), my thought is that it should be available in VS 2013 out of the box.

Add "exclude files" to the "Look in" options under Find and Replace. There are times when certain files are always going to be impertinent to search for, and it would be nice to know that search will not be bogged down by those files.

With VS 2012.2 support was added for LESS, but given that SASS is more feature-rich, I'd really like to see support for SASS (including Compass), including syntax highlighting, intellisense, and compilation.

In the C# editor, the results for Find All References do not include references made using the var keyword. Part of the beauty of a strongly typed language is that there is no semantic difference between var and the type name. However, the IDE is treating the two differently.

The omission can lure a programmer into thinking that a type is less widely used than it really is, which can be a false sense of security when considering an API change.

I propose you include code using "var" in Find All References results.

Please allow the code editor to support SPELL CHECK, so that comments and other things that are no code can be checked, this is very annoying to read some developer that can't spell. Also, it REALLY would help in the HTML source view, so I know that the content typed on my web pages are spell checked.

The track changes indicator in VS editor is reset once the file is closed. It would be great if the indicator would integrate with the active source control provider and show the uncommitted changes in a file when re-opening the file in the editor.

Currently, the RDLC editor is VS 2012 has issues. These issues have occurred since the IDE was converted to WPF in 2010. We need a snap to align and other basic functionality you'd expect from a designer. While we're improving the editor, we need to improve the rendering. The answer provided about PDF rendering being processor intensive (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/is/sqlreportingservices/thread/ca45fcc4-be69-410f-aaed-19b65f279330) doesn't fly. Many 3rd parties can convert HTML to PDF in seconds compared to the RDLC provider. So, allow HTML rendering and convert the HTML to DOCX or PDF.

The mouse cursor changes to an odd arrow when hovering over the expand/collapse signs in the code editor.

It's odd because instead of pointing towards the top left, it points towards the top right.

This isn't expected behavior and isn't how the cursor works anywhere else within VS2012. On ALL OTHER expansion items it is the normal cursor that points towards the top left. On this ONE SPOT it is backwards.

sometime need find and replace with for example format or convert find value and then replaced.please add text box to can write and execute C# or VB code with Roslyn compiler in find and replace pane. can referenced to $find and $replace and manipulate $replace value with scripting and then replaced.
